Got the new Turbos!Thanks Borland! for taking the first step, even if it has been way too late.Turbo Delphi available for free (open source) is a great thing!Hope and pray, it brings back the spirit of delphi and wish to see it being used widely!

and now to my first run of turbo delphi!#1. I Sorely miss the 'Alt VC', to get a quick the list of components. I have to get used to the other shortcuts for quick access.#2. The UI is okie, but not alike the D7 (oldie days!)#3. Ran into a few crashes - mostly with the IDE. Missed to get the screen shots though! :(#4. Yet to check adding up new components / controls and check out the limitations.#5. Some of the demo's had issues with missing components! Need to dig to find the cause!

I somehow get a feeling that the IDE is bloated and not sure if i can attribute that to anything other than .Net!need to check out the camtasia demos!, by nick hodges.i think i should create a single .iso, out of the camtasia videos by nick. (when am free, of course!)

there is a nice review of turbo explorer on pcmag here!(though but a short one!) and more on bitwise magazine!

PS: oh yeah! the final dialog of the installation mentions to keep downloading the updates (.net / windows)!Ironic. Got a smile (cynical) to my face!go get 'em!
